Hey michel... it works the same way as in the NFL fantasy league you joined last year for the first time (and I might add, one that you did very well in ).

Yes, you score points for whoever you have in the starting lineup that day and none for those who you have on the bench that day.

You can make changes on a daily basis where needed by moving players in and out of the lineup - it can be done daily or you can come in once or twice a week to set your lineup for the week. You'll find that you would tend to leave your regular players plus relievers in the lineup every day and rotate your starting pitchers.

The only time you likely would need to do a lot of line-up setting is if you've got a couple of OFs who may do very well at home and is average on the road (Carlos Gonzalez for one) so you want to play matchups or home/away platoons, or if you've got an injury-prone player that you want to see if he's in the lineup that day or not. Another time you may want to watch for lineup changes is Mondays and Thursdays as that's when the day offs for certain teams take place and you might want to rotate in a bench player for a starter who's getting the day off.

- click on "Join A League"- sign in (if not already done so)- click on "Join Custom"- enter league ID # 147834 and password offtopic- do the same kind of stuff you did when you joined the fantasy football league last September- let us kick your butt around - enjoy!

Maybe - thinking about it... I've been out of it for a few years not really following players to this extent, but my 12 year old little leaguer wants to do one for the first time... is it a big time commitment?

It depends on how competitive you want to be. At minimum I'd recommend updating your team lineup once or twice a week, just to make sure all of your starting pitchers get rotated into your lineup when it's their day to pitch.

As far as the draft goes, you can let Yahoo autodraft your team (but be sure to pre-rank your players, or you'll end up with injured players that are avoided by everyone present for the draft), or you can do the live on-line draft. I think you're on the West Coast, which will make the draft an early-evening event which shouldn't impact a school-night bedtime.

... In the fantasy world of rotisserie baseball leagues, {Jose} Bautista’s breakout season — 54 homers, 124 RBIs and an MLB-leading 351 total bases — aren’t worth squat. And despite blossoming into a bona fide star, the Blue Jays right fielder is nowhere near the top of most fantasy-league draft lists.

The consensus: Bautista’s huge 2010 doesn’t guarantee a 2011 productive enough to satisfy the strict, possibly unrealistic, standards of fantasy owners, who play for things more valuable than money. Things like pride and bragging rights, either of which can keep a poolie from gambling that Bautista can approach his 2010 stats this year.

“It might be the fear of looking like an idiot,” said James Smith, who took Milwaukee’s Carlos Gomez with his top fantasy pick. “There’s not much reward if you pick him high and he does well, but there’s a lot of risk if you pick him high and he doesn’t do well. Then you just look like that sucker who picked up Jose Bautista.”

Worrying about looking like an idiot, James? Don't worry, that ship has sailed a long, long time ago.

Yeah, I considered that maybe they actually meant to type in Carlos Gonzalez there, but they did include Gomez's correct team, Milwaukee...
